Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) ripped the Department of Defense’s finances for failing its fifth consecutive audit and inability to account for 61% of its $3.5 trillion in assets.

“The most ravenous Leviathan of our government that devours the people’s wealth is the Department of Defense,” Higgins said in an impassioned speech during a House Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing on the DOD’s failed audit, financial management practices.

      No, was asking you for your thoughts on this specific sentence, on its own:

      Do you think the pentagon has EVER passed an audit?

      Which you did eventually stumble into, but not before engaging in some mental gymnastics for the sake of accusing me of mental gymnastics. Thanks, sort of?

          which you seem to think is the case, and that it’s good, somehow.

          Imagine licking the boot so bad that you twist two trillion dollars going up in smoke into a win

          We seem to keep coming back to how I supposedly think or assumptions about why I was asking the question. Either you have confused me for the original person you were replying to, or you’re jackhammering straw men onto anything they might stick to while making a conscious choice to be a tool about it.

          As you were.

            Speaking as the guy this particular individual mistook you for, it’s both.
